party, comprehendng principles and
policies, is impossible. This figure is free
trade, that protection; this figure, further
silver coinage. that, denouncing the
further coinage of silver; this figure. a
respectful attitude toward the Union
soldier that, an Indifferent or hostile
position to him; this figure, an endorse
ment of Cleveland and denunciation Of
his policy, that. vice versa, and so on.
This analysis demonstrates two facts
that are worth considering. While so
wide differences of opinion exist between
the several factions of the party, it is i'm
possible for the party to represent any
defined principle or to favor any exclusive
policy. Again wanting harmony in idea,
the party, though possessed of power, is
powerless to act. These two facts recog-
nized by the President. determined in his
mind the advisability of calling an extra
session of Congress. Though most i'm
portant questions are pressed upon the
administration for immediate settlement,
President Cleveland and, in fact, the party
leaders. perceive the impossibiity of any
satisfactory adjustment. This broken-up
condition of the party is regarded by him
also with degree of selfish satisfaction !;
for he understands that party represent
ing no principle or policy, and utterly
powerless to act, is also as powerless TO
assert itself in the choice of candidate
for 1888. Consequently he does nothing
to harmonic the divided parts. Such a
state of things is very significant and, be-
fore the dangers are apprehended. it is
very probable that the country dissatisfied
with the inefficiency of the party will call
upon it to retire. For all these facts point
to decay. and. aswIth man partial de-
cay precedes death.

The leaven of dissenson has been per-
meating the democratic ranks. 1t has
quietly but constantly been working until
the party is not at one, on single ques
ton of policy. Such differences in ideas
entertained by its factions have come into
existence that it is absolutely impossible
to attribute any purpose or plan to 1t. 1t
has become necessary in speaking of its
ideas to make precise distinctions. For
instance. one is now compelled to speak
OF the democratic party of Pennsylvania,
which is somewhat protective as to tariff,
in opposition to the democracy of Ohio,
which is for straight out free trade; or OF
the democratic party OF Massachusetts,
which has rubbed close enough to repub-
licanism to have contracted habit of
speaking respectfully of Union soldiers. in
contradsunction to the democratic party
of Georgia, which is still fond of paying
tributes OF respect to Jefferson Davis; or OF
the democratic party in New York, which
is Tor cessation of further silver coinage, in
contrast to the democratic party of Iowa,
which is for free silver; or of the demo-
cratic party of Virginia, which says that
it is FIR Cleveland and against Cleyeland's
policy. as opposed to the democratic party
of Indiana. which is tor Cleveland S policy
and against Cleveland. One can no
longer speak of the democratic party
without adding "of''-Some place OF
other. The party is very much like q
kaleidoscope, the figures of which are
formed by small particles of colored glass
and each turn OF which presents to view &

who may have been fortunate enough to

her powers of voice have lessened with

many OF the delegates to the Worceste

that they were democrats or not, and il
democrats, why so. 1t believes that the

and traditions. Those who have watched

wants to say, in state OF "innocuous

1.-THE accusation has been made" says
the Boston Traveller, THAT the prohibit
ZIONIST leaders seek the defeat of the re-
publican party more zealously than they do
a diminution of the evils of intemperance.
Is this grave charge true oneP The
prohjbitionsts, in their platforms and
speeches, denounce the republican party
which enacts all the temperance laws in
the Northern States. They earn praise
and encouraging words from the news
paper organs of the saloons that recognize
them as allies and have only condemna-
ton for republicans. They run separate
tickets. which help the democrats to carry
elections when they know that by doing
so proposed temperance legislation will be
defeated They falsely charge the defeats
of such temperance legislation upon the
republican party when they know that the
measures failed because of the aid they
had themselves given the democrats.
These things are done by the leaders of
that party, aud but for the fact that their
motives are understood and their honesty
distrusted, the number of their followers
would be largely increased. The great
body of the temperance voters are not
deceived, and it is because they prefer to
remain in party majority of whose
members sympathize with them. that this
hostility assumes its present violent form. "
